Lipton Onion Soup Mix (Copycat)

I have been using this recipe for years in place of the original. I think it is just as tasty and is certainly less expensive than the real thing.

Ingredients

1/4 cup dried minced onion
2 Tbsp. instant beef bouillon
1/2 tsp. onion powder

Directions

Combine all ingredients. Quantity is the equivalent of 1 package of soup mix.

Don, thank you! I have had this mix recipe for a while but never made it because I didn't know the equivalent to the store bought mix; now I can finally quit buying the expensive store bought stuff!
